During the first event for co-flagship phones Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ , those pair of Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 were also on top of my mind. In this space, I checked out the 8 inch version of it.
The front has 8 inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display on 4:3 aspect ratio and 2.1 MP front camera. The back has 8 MP rear camera. It has 1.9 and 1.3 GHz quad-core Soc in big.LITTLE scenario.
At the top, there's noise cancelling mic which makes sense as the one that I got was the LTE variant which can accept calls and SMS. At the bottom, you can check in the 3.5 mm. audio jack and micro USB port.
Nothing at the left as you can locate the power/unlock button, volume rocker and ejector tray for micro SD and SIM.
I also brought in some sample shots for comparison purposes shot at the venue inside Marriott Hotel near RWM.

First impressions: The overall body for me of this device is a bit less of a premium compared to the first edition of Galaxy Tab S but I like that it showed no love for finger prints. I'm impressed that for a tablet that I had f/1.9 aperture on it's rear camera. In output, both cameras can even beat those cameras from smartphones below Php 5,000. The fluidity is already a given with top caliber Exynos processor.
